Hugo Theme

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Working on a Hugo theme
• Site template layer
• Unrelated requests
• Route to the nearest named specialist

Example prompts

• “/hugo-theme”

Requirements

• Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Works with any agent framework supporting the Agent Skills format.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 22b4723. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are go-html-template and bash).

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md.

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

• Compatibility

  Works with any agent framework supporting the Agent Skills format.

  From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Hugo Theme loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~25k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 93 tokens; SKILL.md has 534 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~93

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.7k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~25k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

# 1. Create the theme directory
mkdir -p themes/my-theme/{layouts/{_default,_markup,partials,shortcodes},assets/{scss,css,js}}

# 2. Create baseof.html (use the template above) defining blocks:
#    title, styles, header, main, footer, scripts

# 3. Create partials for reusable components
#    layouts/partials/header.html, footer.html, css.html

# 4. Set up your asset pipeline
#    - SCSS  → assets/scss/main.scss + toCSS partial
#    - Tailwind  → assets/css/main.css + css.TailwindCSS partial
#    - JS  → assets/js/main.js + js.Build

# 5. Configure hugo.yaml
#    theme: my-theme
#    See the reference file for your chosen CSS approach.

# 6. Build and verify
hugo --gc
